Half a day later, Mingye and Chen Mu met up. When she saw a stunningly beautiful woman following behind Chen Mu, she immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Her name is Zhou Xinle, and she is Heart Devil Fox Race from the Thousand Illusions Demon Realm."
I accidentally injured her due to a misunderstanding, so I took her with me.
Chen Mu smiled and explained to Mingye, while secretly using Divine Soul to tell her about the relationship between Zhou Xinle and White Turtle.
"She said she knows Grandpa Turtle, and it seems to be true for now, so we can believe her for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Mingye suddenly understood, smiled, and nodded to Zhou Xinle as a greeting.
"Okay, so what do we do next? Do you have any plans?"
Mingye looked at Chen Mu expectantly.
When she's alone, she thinks about many things, but when Chen Mu is around, she's used to leaving all her thoughts to Chen Mu and enjoying the peace and quiet.
"Okay, then let me tell you my plan."
Chen Mu led Mingye into the cave and found a comfortable spot to sit down. Then, he reached out and made a gesture in the air, Dharma Power to create a simple map, which he then explained to Mingye and Zhou Xinle.
"According to the trial content of the Destruction Grotto-Heaven, in addition to killing one million demons to complete the trial, we can also complete the trial by destroying the demon castle."
Given our current situation, we would need to kill four million demons to complete the mission, which is extremely difficult.
Demons don't just line up and wait for the trial participants to kill them; although they aren't very intelligent, they still know how to avoid danger and seek good fortune.
If they kill too many demons in a certain area, other demons will avoid them, making it difficult for them to kill enough demons in the future.
Additionally, there is a demon castle every so often in the Destruction Grotto-Heaven.
If the trial participants kill too many of the roaming demons outside, it will attract the attention of the demon lord inside the demon castle, who may then send an army to hunt them down.
Just like Zhou Xinle before, although she used her talent to control a large army of demon followers, she was wiped out in no time after encountering the regular army inside the demon castle.
"So my plan is to attack the Demon Castle directly. Only by taking down the Demon Castle can I ensure that we can all complete the trial on time."
I have already communicated with the will of the secret realm. As long as the number of trial participants I unite with is less than eight, we can all pass the Cave Heaven Trial after destroying the Demon Castle.
Although the will of the secret realm is rigid and cold, it also possesses a certain degree of intelligence. As long as the test subject actively calls upon it, it will respond.
"Attack the Demon Castle? Are you sure? Do you even know what's inside the Demon Castle?"
Although Zhou Xinle was afraid of Chen Mu, she couldn't help but stand up excitedly when she heard about Chen Mu's audacious plan.
"I know, please sit down and listen to me slowly."
Under Chen Mu's unquestionable tone, Zhou Xinle had no choice but to obediently sit down again.
"According to my investigation, the lords inside the Demon Castle are all Half-God Level powerhouses."
But the most terrifying thing is that the demons inside the Demon Castle have all undergone military training, and when fighting as a team, they are more than ten times stronger than the rabble outside.
Therefore, this battle will not be easy for us, but as long as you all do as I say, I am absolutely confident that I can lead everyone to complete the trial."
Despite Chen Mu's impassioned speech, Zhou Xinle's eyes remained full of doubt.
For the trial participants, killing a million demons is difficult, but if they choose to kill the weaker ones, it is still possible to reach a million within a year.
However, to conquer the Demon Castle, one would have to face the Demon Lord and his tens of thousands of well-trained troops head-on, a task that would be virtually impossible for the Kunlun Secret Realm, which is limited by its cultivation level and external forces.
"I'm sorry, I've dragged you down."
Only then did she realize that Chen Mu's plan was also related to her.
The higher a cultivator's realm, the more difficult it is to recover from an injury. Her current injuries would not heal in less than a year and a half. She had already decided to give up the trial in this cave, but Chen Mu's plan was clearly also to help her.
"Your injury was caused by me, so I will naturally take responsibility."
Okay, now let me explain my attack plan.
Chen Mu was too lazy to explain too much to Zhou Xinle, so he pointed directly to the location on the map and began to explain it to them.
"Of all the demon castles I've explored before, this one is the easiest to conquer. Firstly, it's located in a low-lying area, and there's only one entrance/exit..."
After explaining his plan in detail to the two women, Chen Mu then instructed them to collect spiritual materials in the surrounding area to prepare for the subsequent attack.
More than a month later, on a mountain near a demon's castle.
At this moment, about twenty siege cannons were neatly arranged on the ground. The main material of the siege cannons was wood, with a small number of metal parts used in the joints. The design was simple and crude.
Ten Heavenly Stems War Soldiers were busy transporting all sorts of strange and unusual spiritual materials and ores from afar, which Chen Mu then manually processed to forge siege weapons.
Just then, Mingye rushed back from afar, carrying a large pile of fiery red crystals, which he placed in front of Chen Mu.
"That's enough!"
" Mingye, sit down and rest for the night. We'll launch our attack on the Demon Castle first thing tomorrow morning."
Chen Mu examined the crystal in front of him and nodded.
"Good!"
Mingye didn't ask any further questions. He simply found a comfortable spot next to Chen Mu, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
The red crystal she brought back was actually dug out from the body of a dead demon.
Speaking of which, the demons here are very similar to the Abyss Devil Race. After a demon dies, there is a chance that crystals will appear on its body. The difference is that the Abyss Devil Race ' magic crystals contain concentrated demonic energy, while the demons' magic crystals contain a different kind of concentrated power.
This power contains elements of demonic energy, but it also contains the power of bloodline, representing another direction of evolution.
This suggests that demons and Abyss Devil Race have some connection. No wonder Abyss Devil Race can usually enter the Destruction Grotto-Heaven after entering the Kunlun Secret Realm; it seems to be their world from the start.
Chen Mu stood up, took some of the red crystals that Mingye had brought back, and evenly embedded them into the siege cannon next to him.
Then it flew into the air and used its Spiritual Power to sweep up the remaining crystals, arranging them neatly on the surrounding rocky ground according to the principles of divination.
"Alright! It's finally finished."
As the last crystal was placed, Chen Mu sensed the strange energy field around him, which was interconnected and resonated with each other, and couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator.
